How do I suppress repotools from creating "configuration" log ?

I use repotools-jts to periodically list issued licenses for server metrics.   I notice that 100000s of log files were written each time repotools-jts is run.  I have removed them, but this is an example of the content, location of one such file.  
current directory is repotools under a CLM 5.0.2 install

cat ./jts/eclipse/configuration/1475763999062.log

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2016-10-06 10:26:39.515
!MESSAGE Bundle org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86 not found.


I know I could farm the filesystem and remove those files, but how can they be bit-bucketed ( i.e. never written )

I believe it is caused by a small bug. The log file is there because Eclipse cannot resolve the bundle mentioned in the log file - "org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86". Well, it should not be there anyway, as you are using AIX.

To resolve this, modify the file repotools/jts/eclipse/configuration/config.ini by removing the string "org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86,". Or replace it with the actual bundle for the platform (which you can find in the repotools/jts/eclipse/plugins folder. For example, on Red Hat Linux, it is "org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86". I don't find any ill effect with either solution.

I will give your suggestion a whirl !

Kevin Ramer commented Oct 07 '16, 8:59 a.m.

Removing the org.eclipse.equinox...win32.win32.x86 made repotools angrier.  There are only the win32 and linux variety of org.eclipse.equinox.launcher plugin under the plugins folder.

Did you remove it and the comma? All plugin names are separated by commas.  It's not my experience that the repotools gets any angrier. :-)

Kevin Ramer commented Dec 09 '16, 10:27 a.m.

I revisited this today making sure I removed the plugin name leaving a single delimiter.  No more logs !

Thanks Donald
